Good Grief

School has started up again. I'm not sure whether to cheer or cry.

I really enjoy the interaction I get with others who are not 2 yr olds, but already the endless homework has begun. I promised myself that I would get all my homework done in timely manner and always be in bed before midnight, but only on my second day of class I found myself pushing it pretty close to breaking my own rules. What's a gal to do? I guess I just have to quit procrastinating. HA! It would be great if after five years of college I finally met that goal!

I'm worried about Pooka too. Will the child just potty train already? Her poor bottom has such problems because of her diapers, but she doesn't seem the least bit interested in giving them up. I know that she is physically able - she's proven that time and time again. I just don't know what to do other than have some kind of potty boot camp. So, all you excellent mommies out there, do I let the rashes and infections and all the icky stuff continue and wait for Pooka to just do it herself, or do I just take a week of a naked child running around and do it?

I'm totally cracking up with this one! It's probably not as funny to you, though. Good luck with the classes and the procrastinating and the two year old diaper rash. And send me that family photo when you get the chance!

wait til she's ready or it'll be an unpleasant fight for everyone. She's still young - don't sweat it - one day she'll tell you she's done with diapers and that'll be it.
